European External Action The Making of EU Diplomacy in Kenya

European External Action The Making of EU Diplomacy in Kenya

European External Action provides a critical assessment of the practice of EU diplomacy in a key site of Africa-European relations and the global development industry - the Kenyan capital of Nairobi. It analyses how the EU positions itself through its newly established diplomatic corps the European External Action Service (EEAS) and how it is perceived as a collective geopolitical actor by its external cooperation partners. Going beyond existing studies on EU policy making in Brussels and African-European relations more generally this book explores in a novel way the conduct of external relations and perceptions of the EU - abroad. Based on institutional ethnography within the EU Delegation in Nairobi and research affiliation with the University of Nairobi as well as interviews with leading individuals of Kenyan-European interaction it analyses the practices processes and perceptions through which EU diplomacy is enacted and realised in a strategic node of global North-South relations. In light of the EU’s claim as a key partner for developing countries and its ambition to be a major player in global politics European External Action thereby speaks not only to wider debates on the EU’s role as a global and development actor but also provides new insights in the internal dynamics and the making of external agency in and through EU diplomacy. | European External Action The Making of EU Diplomacy in Kenya

Effective Ecology Seeking Success in a Hard Science

Effective Ecology Seeking Success in a Hard Science

Ecology is one of the most challenging of sciences with unambiguous knowledge much harder to achieve than it might seem. But it is also one of the most important sciences for the future health of our planet. It is vital that our efforts are as effective as possible at achieving our desired outcomes. This book is intended to help individual ecologists to develop a better vision for their ecology – and the way they can best contribute to science. The central premise is that to advance ecology effectively as a discipline ecologists need to be able to establish conclusive answers to key questions rather than merely proposing plausible explanations for mundane observations. Ecologists need clear and honest understanding of how we have come to do things the way we do them now the limitations of our approaches our goals for the future and how we may need to change our approaches if we are to maintain or enhance our relevance and credibility. Readers are taken through examples to show what a critical appraisal can reveal and how this approach can benefit ecology if it is applied more routinely. Ecological systems are notable for their complexity and their variability. Ecology is as indicated by the title of this book a truly difficult science. Ecologists have achieved a great deal but they can do better. This book aims to encourage early-career researchers to be realistic about their expectations: to question everything not to take everything for granted and to make up their own minds. | Effective Ecology Seeking Success in a Hard Science

Speaking With a Single Voice The EU as an effective actor in global governance?

Speaking With a Single Voice The EU as an effective actor in global governance?

Under what conditions does the internal cohesiveness of the European Union determine its external effectiveness on the world stage? This book asks this question investigating the frequent political assumption that the more cohesive the EU presents itself to the world the more effective it is in achieving its goals. Contributions to this book explore this theory from a range of perspectives from trade to foreign policy and highlight complex patterns between internal cohesiveness and external effectiveness. These are simplified into three possible configurations: internal cohesiveness has a positive impact on external effectiveness; internal cohesiveness has no impact on external effectiveness; and internal cohesiveness has a negative impact on external effectiveness. The international context in which the EU operates which includes the bargaining configuration and the policy arena functions as an intervening variable that helps us to explain variation in these causal links. The book also launches a research agenda aimed at explaining these patterns more systematically and determining the marginal impact of cohesiveness on effectiveness. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy. | Speaking With a Single Voice The EU as an effective actor in global governance?

Responses to the ‘Arabellions’ The EU in Comparative Perspective

Responses to the ‘Arabellions’ The EU in Comparative Perspective

This book studies the reactions by external actors including the European Union to the events unfolding in the Arab world beginning in December 2010. In particular contributors look at external actors' attempts to balance their desire for stability with their normative principles toward human rights and democracy. The book compares the action (and inaction) of the EU with other international and regional players including the United States Russia Turkey and Israel and assesses the response of these actors to the Arabellions’ events analysing changes in their approaches to the Arab region. The contributions to this book answer three questions: (1) How have external actors assessed the ‘Arabellions’ and what role did they see for themselves in this context? (2) Which goals and instruments did external actors pursue toward the MENA region? In particular how did they deal with conflicting goals such as support for human rights and democracy on the one hand and concerns about security and stability on the other? (3) How can we explain the varying responses of external actors to the Arabellions? This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of European Integration. | Responses to the ‘Arabellions’ The EU in Comparative Perspective

VLSI Architectures for Modern Error-Correcting Codes

VLSI Architectures for Modern Error-Correcting Codes

Error-correcting codes are ubiquitous. They are adopted in almost every modern digital communication and storage system such as wireless communications optical communications Flash memories computer hard drives sensor networks and deep-space probing. New-generation and emerging applications demand codes with better error-correcting capability. On the other hand the design and implementation of those high-gain error-correcting codes pose many challenges. They usually involve complex mathematical computations and mapping them directly to hardware often leads to very high complexity. VLSI Architectures for Modern Error-Correcting Codes serves as a bridge connecting advancements in coding theory to practical hardware implementations. Instead of focusing on circuit-level design techniques the book highlights integrated algorithmic and architectural transformations that lead to great improvements on throughput silicon area requirement and/or power consumption in the hardware implementation. The goal of this book is to provide a comprehensive and systematic review of available techniques and architectures so that they can be easily followed by system and hardware designers to develop en/decoder implementations that meet error-correcting performance and cost requirements. This book can be also used as a reference for graduate-level courses on VLSI design and error-correcting coding. Particular emphases are placed on hard- and soft-decision Reed-Solomon (RS) and Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) codes and binary and non-binary low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. These codes are among the best candidates for modern and emerging applications due to their good error-correcting performance and lower implementation complexity compared to other codes. To help explain the computations and en/decoder architectures many examples and case studies are included. More importantly discussions are provided on the advantages and drawbacks of different implementation approaches and architectures.
